Lewis Hamilton is a great example of an all-rounder, as he is not only an undisputed G.O.A.T., but also a multitalented jack of all trades. Hamilton keeps himself up-to-date on everything pop culture and beyond while also engaging in movies during his downtime. One lesser-known fact about the Mercedes driver is that he has already made his movie debut with a surprise cameo in Cars 2.

Now, being a movie star is one thing, but being a movie buff is another. Lewis Hamilton, despite his status, enjoys simple things like mere mortals do, and watching movies and relaxing is one of them. His choice of movies has made him a fan of Zac Efron, or so he says.
